Mario Batali, the former host of “The Chew” who stands accused of sexual misconduct, issued an apology to fans on Friday through his newsletter and inexplicably ended it with a recipe for cinnamon rolls. So far, eight women have come forward to say Batali groped them, made sexually explicit comments or other unwanted sexual advances. I take full responsibility,” Batali wrote in the letter, his most recent in a series of apologetic statements. “Sharing the joys of Italian food, tradition and hospitality with all of you, each week, is an honor and privilege. in case you’re searching for a holiday-inspired breakfast, these Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls are a fan favorite.”The incredible speed at which Batali switched from self-reflection to food sparked criticisms from observers on social media.
